About

Dog Closing His Eyes, also known as Cooked Dog, Dog Accepting Fate or Dog Closing His Eyes Halfway, is a reaction image featuring an elderly brown Labrador Retriever peacefully closing his eyes as though enjoying the warmth of the sunset. The meme went viral on TikTok in early November 2024 and is typically used as a caption format to depict netizens' reactions while facing stressful or challenging situations. The Dog Closing Eyes meme is also accompanied by Big Sean' "I Don't Fuck With You," which plays in the background to augment the feeling of hopelessness and distress.

Origin

On November 6th, 2024, TikTok[1] user @username80827372 posted the earliest known version of the Dog Closing His Eyes Halfway meme, which features the image of the Labrador with the caption, “How it feels when you break something in the house then you hear your parents car pull up.” The image is paired with a sample from the song "I Don't Fuck With You" by Big Sean, which amassed 282,000 plays and 6,000 likes in three months.
